My own art and my own face

This picture really encourages me to branch off. I now put my artwork out in the open so that people can see (something I never expected to do), and I get positive feedback from people other than my family and friends! Yes, I know, positive feedback is a positive feedback ... but if coming from family or friends, their opinions can be a little more biased than people in the world who have an emotional attachment to you. You know what I mean?

I just want to take the time to thank all of you for your help and encouragement during this first week! You have all been very helpful and very friendly. I really appreciate every comment, every follow, every upvote and most important is every friendship!
